Another interview for Free Rad!cals this time with my old friend Guido Steinberg, the most reliable authority on jihad in Germany. I believe that he is developing a book on this topic, and has worked on a lot of the cases built against the jihadi network in Germany. Terror in Germany: An interview with Guido [...]

Interview: Terror in Russia
Posted: March 13, 2011 in Free Rad!calsTags: Central Asia, chechnya, Europe, radicalization, Russia, terrorism
I have pulled this trick before, asking Ces to provide some insights on what is going on with terrorism in Russia. He kindly did this interview with me a while ago, but it got a bit lost and he kindly agreed to update it for Free Rad!cals. The links I had included have not made [...]

Chasing Web Jihadists

A new post at Free Rad!cals, this time stepping on Tim’s turf a bit (though he has gone very quiet of late). It looks at a couple of cases on individuals in Spain and Canada being chased for support activities online. Since this was published, I had discovered that it looks as though the Spanish-Moroccan [...]

A new post for Free Rad!cals, this exploring once again the issue of Lone Wolves.

A movie review this time at Free Rad!cals looking at the movie Carlos. I watched the extended version, which while hugely enjoyable was very long and could have been trimmed a bit. Still well worth watching though if you have the chance. Have written a few of these types of reviews at Free Rad!cals (this [...]

A new post for Free Rad!cals returning to the European terrorism theme. This one opening up a bit more on the threat that is apparently plaguing France at the moment. Multifaceted and complex, it will be interesting to see if it finally develops into an actual attack or not. Alert en France View more articles [...]

Another new post over at Free Rad!cals again looking at the parcel/ink bomb scare, this time taking a slightly more historical view. Hat tip to James B for his tips on the Al Hayat case. It also occurs to me that I should have also included some mention of the series of bombs currently emanating [...]
